<p>‘Yeah I saw that Kate Winslet picture and thought she looked amazing. I agree with you, though girls rarely believe the “personality and face” deal.’</p>
<p>I also look face first, but goddamn does Winslet look like the Joker in the pic Russell posted.</p>
<p>Yeah, she’s a good actress, but definitely not good looking.</p>
<p>^^ hey, how about shutting up for once? We’re discussing the OP here.</p>
<p>OP- you sound just fine to me. Your weight gain could be a combination of factors- how you ate, handled stress, and excercised over the course of the year. Also, did you get on the Pill at some point this year? You should meet with your doc at some point and discuss the underlying issues. Your doc can pinpoint the target. </p>
<p>Also, remember, in high school, you had a whole different lifestyle that probably involved a lot of studying, random eating habits, and such. Sometimes I wonder how I got by with a piece of toast in the morning before 7 AM, an apple at 10:30 AM, and lunch of less than 300 cal at 1ish and not quite eat again until 7… </p>
<p>Another thing is that you’re growing into your woman figure. Do you have more curves than you thought?</p>
<p>Haha, oh no, the internet police. Sorry ticklemepink; looks like I pressed some buttons. Let me guess, you’re fat/chubby? But seriously, this is a forum; I might go off topic quite a bit but it isn’t like others don’t do the same.</p>
<p>i should be between 103.5 and 111.5 according to the formula.</p>
<p>interesting - BMI calc says that 103.5 is 43rd percentile and 111.5 is 63rd percentile. i donno, sounds about right. maybe -4,+1 is closer to it hehe… that would result in 43-57…probably not a very big difference</p>
<p>eh…it all depends on your height/weight ratio…5’4 and 125 does seem a little chubby though</p>
<p>^ nooo… it’s about at the 50th percentile, a little above, max 55th depending on how old the OP is</p>
<p>it’s hard to use percentiles with this, though. I mean, does the definition of chubby change as society gets fatter? </p>
<p>From what I understand, the average American doesn’t fair so well, statistically, in regard to fitness and whatnot. I don’t know if that’s true for her age range, though.</p>
<p>Its true, and that’s what I was thinking, Americans are supposed to be the fattest people in the world, right? 50th percentile of what(all people in the world, in the US, etc?)? What does 50th percentile look like? Because it sounds chubby.</p>
<p>I just checked and the average weight for a white woman in the USA is about 130 at age 20. She’s 0.5-1 inch below average height… so 125 is probably a pound or two below average for her height, assuming that she’s around 20 years old. I guess if she’s 18, from the chart it looks like the average would be 5 lbs less.</p>
<p>[Average</a> womens Weight chart](<a href=“http://www.halls.md/chart/women-weight-w.htm]Average”>http://www.halls.md/chart/women-weight-w.htm)</p>
<p>but yeah, I don’t even know what average for that age really looks like down there.</p>
<p>Here is a table for adults, with what the NIH considers to be overweight. If you aren’t above the normal line, you aren’t chubby. I think women shoot for the lower end of normal when they are young and the higher end of normal later in life… </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.pdf[/url]”>http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/bmi_tbl.pdf</a></p>
<p>^^according to that, she has a 21.5 bmi(exactly “normal”) for height of 60 inches.</p>
<p>I dont know where people get off calling her “chubby”. Its a subjective non-scientific term, but still, when did normal = chubby?</p>
<p>According to that chart, I’m borderline overweight… guess I’m too chubby for Russell then. It’s breaking my heart.
(sarcasm, btw)</p>
<p>Also take note that the chart is for males and females.</p>
<p>everyone-- don’t use medical information to appease your aesthetic insecurities. BMI offers a rough idea (a very very rough one, at that) on health, not attractiveness.</p>
<p>There there, AUlost… <em>pats head</em> :)</p>
<p>But seriously, you girls are that insecure that you have to attack me for being honest and speaking my mind? In the height thread I was sticking up for women that had height standards. I mean, at least they were honest, right? That’s all I’m doing.</p>
<p>“when did normal = chubby?”</p>
<p>If the majority of people are chubby aesthetically, then the average is chubby.</p>
<p>^^I wasnt referring to societal norm, but rather to the BMI’s description of normal, as stated by med professionals.(see the previous link by MidWestmom)</p>
<p>The thing with medical opinions is that they don’t really agree with the opinions of society. Reason being because medicine makes standards based on what’s healthy, unhealthy, very unhealthy, etc., and society makes standards based on aesthetics, at least in this case. So even though you might be normal by medical standards, you might be chubby/fat in terms of aesthetics.</p>
<p>Lol, I was making a joke Russell… I don’t care if you like skinny girls (aka girls not me) because I don’t like guys like you anyway (ie guy who, imo, excessively work out, etc). Nothing against your personality of course, I’m sure you’re nice and whatnot. You be as honest as you want about it, but just because 5’4" 125 is not to YOUR aesthetic ideals, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s NOT chubby.</p>
